Car looks good, but I don't get it. Why did you buy a 335 and return it the next day???

For my next mod I want to add the F-sport shocks and springs... How would you compare the ride and handling vs stock?? Is it worth it??

you can't be serious. BMW 3 series are known for the superior handling. 335 has more potential and will outrun the 350 stock.

It's definitely worth it! ride is little more stiff but it corners better

Isn't that what I said? I don't know about 335 outrunning the 350. I thought both had about similar feel to the power( I had 335 auto). It was the handling that can't be compared. But to me lexus has better interior and quality than 335(335 is such a beauty on the outside).

haha...my friend that has a 335i coupe with the procede v2 chip says the handling isn't as good as my IS-F...he said he feels more confident in the IS-F compared to his 335i coupe...although he has just sport suspension...so yeah...lol

Those rims look good, I like them but many here don't (well that's their opinion LOL!). However, the wheel gap looks bigger than my 18" G-Spyder setup especially at the rear. What tires do you have on? If they are 255/35/19 they should be exactly the same diameter as the stock tires.

Yeah I only got those rims because of the color match with my car( I don't think it'll look good on any other vehicle color). with the gap, it's the angle of the shot that makes it look that way but trust me gap is much smaller than with stock 18".

Wait, so you sold your IS350 for a 335i. Realized that the 335i handles much better than your IS350. Then returned the 335i for your old IS350 and put F-Sport stuff on it? Why did you return it?

again, my wife HATED the red leather, lol. Plus being a used car, I had no choice. they only had one 335 coupe within va, md and dc.
